 An' bring the lassie back to me.
 * That's ay fae neat an' clean,

Ae blink o' her wad banish care,
 * Sae charming is my Jean,

What fights and vows amang the knowes,
 * Hae past atween us twa;

How fain to meet, how wae to part,
 * That day she gade awa!

The powr's ahoon can only ken.
 * To whom the heart is seen.

That nane can be fae dear to me,
 * As my fweet lovely Jean.
